Jeremiah 29:13 "And you will seek Me and find Me if you search for Me with all your heart;"
Jeremiah 29:14a "And I will be found by you, declares Jehovah."

Original by Wendy Chao

You Will Seek Me (w/ Sunny)

Therefore with joy shall ye draw water
Out of the wells of salvation.
And in that day shall ye say,
Praise the Lord.
(Repeat the above four lines)

Call upon His name,
Declare His doings among the people,
Make mention that His name is exalted.
Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion:
For great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return,
And come with singing unto Zion;
And everlasting joy shall be upon their head.
(Repeat the above three lines)

They shall obtain gladness and joy;
And sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

Therefore With Joy & The Redeemed (Isaiah 12:3-6, 51:11)

And be ready by the morning, 
and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, 
and present yourself there to Me, 

And be ready by the morning, 
and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, 
and present yourself there to Me, 

on the top of the mountain
on the top of the mountain
and present yourself there to me

on the top of the mountain
on the top of the mountain
and present yourself there to me

And Be Ready By The Morning (Exodus 34:2)

And he showed me a river
of water of life,
bright as crystal,
proceeding out of the throne of God
and of the Lamb
in the middle
of its street.

And He said to me
Drink of My river of water of life
Drink of what truly satisfies
My supply will not fail you
And My river will carry you through
If you come to Me
Your loving King
And drink

And He Showed Me A River (Revelation 22:1)

I’m in Christ, now rejoicing—
From old Adam I am free!
All old things are becoming
Both new and heavenly! (Praise God!)
I’m tasting and enjoying
Life and peace and liberty!
Praise God! I’m in Christ eternally!

I’m In Christ, Now Rejoicing

1. I am crucified with Christ,
And the cross hath set me free;
I have ris'n again with Christ,
And He lives and reigns in me.

CHORUS:
Oh! It is so sweet to die with Christ,
To the world, and self, and sin;
Oh! It is so sweet to live with Christ,
As He lives and reigns within.

2. Mystery hid from ancient ages!
But at length to faith made plain:
Christ in me the Hope of Glory,
Tell it o'er and o'er again.

3. This the secret nature hideth,
Harvest grows from buried grain;
A poor tree with better grafted,
Richer, sweeter life doth gain.

4. This the secret of the holy,
Not our holiness, but Him;
O Lord! Empty us and fill us,
With Thy fulness to the brim.

5. This the balm for pain and sickness,
Just to all our strength to die,
And to find His life and fulness,
All our being's need supply.

6. This the story of the Master,
Thru the Cross, He reached the Throne,
And like Him our path to glory,
Ever leads through death alone.

I Am Crucified With Christ, And The Cross Hath Set Me Free

1. How tedious and tasteless the hours
When Jesus no longer I see!
Sweet prospects, sweet birds and sweet
flow'rs,
Have all lost their sweetness to me.
The midsummer sun shines but dim,
The fields strive in vain to look gay;
But when I am happy in Him
December's as pleasant as May.

2. His name yields the richest perfume,
And sweeter than music His voice;
His presence disperses my gloom,
And makes all within me rejoice.
I should, were He always thus nigh,
Have nothing to wish or to fear;
No mortal so happy as I;
My summer would last all the year.

3. Content with beholding His face,
My all to His pleasure resigned;
No changes of season or place,
Would make any change in my mind.
While blessed with a sense of His love,
A palace a toy would appear;
And prisons would palaces prove,
If Jesus would dwell with me there.

4. My Lord, if indeed I am Thine,
If Thou art my sun and my song,
Say, why do I languish and pine?
And why are my winters so long?
Oh, drive these dark clouds from the sky,
Thy soul-cheering presence restore;
Or take me to Thee up on high,
Where winter and clouds are no more.

How Tedious And Tasteless The Hours / New Tune (Abigail's Song)

(Us)
D A
Beneath this mask—this smile I wear—
Bm F#m
Which tells the world that I’m okay,
G D
That I am strong and nothing in
Em A
My life can drag me down today,
D A
Beneath this mask hides loneliness,
Bm F#m
And questions: what is life all for?
G D
And worries and anxieties
Em A D
Like rain from heaven, pour and pour.

(Christ)
“Why do you struggle on your own?
Just come to Me, pour out and call,
The feeling of your weaknesses
I’m touched with—yet I conquered all.
As Spirit in your spirit I’m
Contactable, available,
I’ll make more home within your heart,
And heal by life your turbid soul.”

(Us)
Beneath this mask—this smile I wear—
I am a child longing for
A home where I feel safe and loved,
A people I can call my own,
Beneath this mask—a cry for help,
I’m drifting on a stormy sea,
I’m tossed about from wave to wave,
With no direction how to be.

(Christ)
“Why do you struggle on your own?
I’ll be your Good Samaritan,
I’ll pour the oil and the wine,
I’ll lead you to your home, the inn,
The household of the faith is where,
Your turbid soul will find true rest,
And I too find My resting place,
My Body, where I’m manifest."

Why Do You Struggle?

Hymn 727:

1. Light after darkness,
Gain after loss,
Strength after weakness,
Crown after cross;
Sweet after bitter,
Hope after fears,
Home after wand'ring,
Praise after tears.

2. Sheaves after sowing,
Sun after rain,
Sight after mystery,
Peace after pain;
Joy after sorrow,
Calm after blast,
Rest after weariness,
Sweet rest at last.

3. Near after distant,
Gleam after gloom,
Love after loneliness,
Life after tomb;
After long agony,
Rapture of bliss,
Right was the pathway,
Leading to this.

Light After Darkness, Gain After Loss / New Tune (Will's Song)

Hymn 671:

1. Deep down into the depths of this Thy Name,
My God, I sink and dwell in calm delight;
Thou art enough however long the day,
Thou art enough however dark the night.

2. Thou art my God—the All-Sufficient One,
Thou canst create for me whate'er I lack;
Thy mighty hand has strewn the lonely track
With miracles of love and tender care.

3. For me, Thy trusting one, my God I dare
Once more to fling myself upon Thy breast,
And there adore Thy ways in faith's deep rest,
And there adore Thy ways in faith's quiet rest.

Deep Down Into The Depths of This Thy Name / New Tune

Hymn 251:

1. Rivers of living water,
Rivers that flow from the throne,
Rivers o'erflowing with blessing,
Coming from Jesus alone.

CHORUS:
Rivers of living water,
Rivers of life so free,
Flowing from Thee, my Savior,
Send now the rivers through me.

2. Whoso is thirsty come hither,
Here is abundant supply;
Water transparent as crystal,
Come without money and buy.

3. Cleanse me, oh, cleanse me, my Savior,
Make me a channel today;
Empty me, fill me and use me,
Teach me to trust and obey.

4. Then, and then only, Lord Jesus,
Through me the rivers can flow;
Thus and thus only will others
Learn Thy great fulness to know.

5. Now I surrender to Jesus,
Here I lay all at His feet
Anything, anywhere only,
Just for His service made meet!

Rivers Of Living Water / New Tune

Hymn 554:

1. I come to His presence afresh
Ere the night has passed into morning;
And His face I see as it shines on me—
The Lord within is dawning.
And He speaks to me and reveals to me
All His riches for me today;
And with sweet delight I partake of Him,
My hunger has passed away.

2. As Spirit He speaks thru the Word
Till my heart in echo is singing,
And the fount of life with His
grace and pow'r
Within my soul is springing.
And He speaks to me and reveals to me
All His riches for me today;
And I drink of Him for my every need,
My thirsting has passed away.

3. In tenderness He deals with me,
While I stay with joy in His presence;
And He saturates and supplies my soul
With all His precious essence.
And He speaks to me and reveals to me
All His riches for me today;
And in every way I partake of Him,
My problems all passed away.

I Come To His Presence Afresh / New Tune

How Oft Believers Through The Years (hymn 1249)

Key of Bb

So why are they so beautiful 
So delicate and fine
Why are they so beautiful
It brings you Lord to mind

God created flowers
And God created me
That’s why it’s so beautiful
Created perfectly

Why are they so beautiful 
The clouds up in the sky
A momentary masterpiece 
Painted way up high

God created fluffy clouds 
And God created me 
That’s why it’s so beautiful 
Created perfectly

Why is it so beautiful
The ocean and the sea 
Sand and waves and salty breeze
Makes me feel so free

God created water
And God created me
That’s why it’s so beautiful 
The ocean and the sea

Hello, it’s your creator
And you’re wonderfully made
I’m making you the same as me
More beautiful each day

Aren’t the flowers beautiful?
But I’m looking straight at you
You are my desire, dear
Please let me enjoy you

We are why these things exist
So I can gain my bride
Not a momentary masterpiece 
But a couple for all time

Why Are They So Beautiful

Christ Only Always

Lord You Love Me So Immensely

Song Credit: E.T.
1. Who can ever know the feeling deep down in my heart?
Who can really understand my weakness to sustain?
When I have lost hope to carry on by myself,
Your person stands by me to be my hope and life.

Chorus: 
Your love so deep moving and sweet
How can I still stubborn be;
No more I struggle and strive,
Trust in Your faith and rest in Your breast.

2. When I feel the touch of Your hand upon my life,
I sense the flow of life flowing rich and free;
When You wipe away every tear in my eyes,
Sorrow has depart'd, behold a smiling face!

Who Can Ever Know the Feeling

"Will you be a loving seeker?
Not a poor, dead law keeper?
We can read His word day by day,
Infuse us Lord, we pray."

Have You Seen God's Salvation? / Original (Poland 2013)

A birthday consecration! Lord, make this my prayer throughout the whole year.

1. Dearest Lord, I come;
This is now my pray’r,
Keep me open to You,
May I always love You.

Lord, I love You more today,
So much more than yesterday;
Lord, I need You, Lord, I love You.

2. Now that the choice is mine,
Lord, I still choose You;
’Though the paths be not marked,
I’m still trusting in You.

3. And if the way is hard,
If things don’t go my way,
Keep my heart soft to You,
Keep me open to You.

4. Dearest Lord, I pray,
Lead me everyday;
Don’t let things come between,
Keep my eyes fixed on You.

5. When many years have gone,
And many things have passed,
I will still be for You,
I will still say to You:

Dearest Lord, I Come

Draw me, dear Lord.
Draw me today.
From everything else, dear Lord,
Draw me away.

O Lord, this whole world
Seems to weigh me down.
All the cares, the strife, the sin,
Within me and all around.

But, Lord, I want to set my heart,
And, Lord, I want to stay with You.
’Cause only when You’re near to me
Is everything okay.

And though everything may fall apart
Or everything go my way,
It doesn’t really matter, Lord,
As long as I gain You today.

Draw Me, Dear Lord

1. Lamb of God—our dear Redeeming One is Christ!
For our sins He paid the highest price
To redeem and to recover us
Who were lost and fallen far from God.
As the Lamb, He had no blemish;
He was meek, even submissive.
How can we like Him obedient be
Unto death, that even of the cross?

CHORUS: I want to follow Him,
Rest from all my wandering,
End all my endeavoring;
Even though I know not where or
How—I know He cares!
I know He’ll never err; I know He’ll lead me well.
I know His voice; this now my choice—
Follow where the Lamb would lead.

2. When He came, though many followed in the way,
Few remained who knew Him and His ways.
Lamb of God—He took  the narrow gate;
The constricted way to life He traced;
Sacrificed, though men denied Him;
Gave His life, though men forsook Him.
How can we t’ward Him still hardened be
When to us He gave all selflessly?

3. Lord we pray, preserve us faithful in the way
All our days, never to fall away.
By Your grace, keep us pursuing You,
Taking up the cross to follow You.
Consecrate we unreservedly,
Absolute for You entirely.
In our hearts, Lord, let the highways be
Unto Zion single-heartedly.

CHORUS 2: Now we will follow Him!
To His call we’re answering,
All we are we’re offering.
New Jerusalem we see
Come down from heav’n to earth!
God and man mingled now, our oneness we avow
Eternally, O gloriously!
This is where the Lamb would lead!

I Want To Follow Him

01.08.19 (cover)
https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/ns/669

Lord, You give based on who You are,
Not by anything that I deserve.
Lord, it is not by self effort
Or by any merit of my own, but...

CHORUS: 
You are the Ruler and the King of the universe.
It is Your word that will last.
You are the Master and the Shepherd of the flock.
It is not my will, but Yours, that stands.
And You are in charge.

Lord, even though I tend to doubt,
I believe Your heart for me is good, and
Lord, I know You do all things well,
So I offer myself willingly, cause...

Lord, I trust in Your perfect will,
Because all Your thoughts surpass my highest.
Lord, I may never understand,
Why You act the way You do, but I know...

Lord, thank You for Your good pleasure.
I can trust that all You do is for it.
So, if it makes You happy, Lord,
I will step aside to let You be my God.

You Are The Ruler

1. Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth,
Whether bitter cold north wind or gentle south;
You are beautiful, my love,
With your eyes of turtledoves;
“Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth“.

CHORUS:
Lord I love You, I really love You,
You’re the dearest, sweetest, precious love to me!
Lord I love You, I really love You,
Jesus, my Beloved, for eternity!

2. She’s become a lily, simple, pure and sweet,
Not relying on her naturalness and strength
She is trusting in Christ’s life,
In His rich abundant life;
“Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth“.

3. She’s become a garden, fountain, streams, and springs,
From which fragrant, luscious produce Christ’s life brings,
Resurrection life expressed,
In ascension she can rest;
“Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth“.

4. She’s become the New Jerusalem, His Bride,
Where His presence for eternity abides,
Here His faithfulness we prove,
And we serve Him for His move;
“Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth“.

5. In the final stage of love a kiss remains,
Where the lover and His love forever reign,
“When I find you here with Me, 
I will kiss you, all will see”;
“Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth“.

Two Kisses

The Gift Of Righteousness (w/ Brandon)

1. Lord, keep me living, through deep sorrows and steep joys,
My human life is filled with days of darkness, days of songs.
What’s the purpose? What’s the reason for all this?
Lord, it’s only by Your grace, by the grace of God I’ll live.

CHORUS:
Keep me living by the grace of God,
Make this a reality, Christ living in me.
Keep me living by the grace of God,
For the reality, of the Body of Christ.

2. Lord, Your grace, is flowing from the throne,
Not material gifts, nor blessings, but the processed Triune God.
God the Father’s boundless riches, God the Son an endless spring,
God the Spirit’s ceaseless flowing thus the Triune God to bring.

CHORUS:
Keep me living by the grace of God,
Make this a reality, Christ living in me.
Keep me living by the grace of God,
For the reality, of the Body of Christ.

3. Lord, Your Body, must become reality,
Through every member functioning to build up Your Body.
So defeat us, and subdue us, open vessels, Lord we pray,
As stewards of the grace of God, Lord build us up today.

CHORUS:
Keep us living by the grace of God,
Make this a reality, Christ living in us.
Keep us living by the grace of God,
For the reality, of the Body of Christ.

Keep Me Living By The Grace Of God / Original (Titus's Song)

Keep Me Living By The Grace Of God (w/ Amber, Natasha, Titus, Michael, Emily, Annie & Taylor)

What about my sinful past?
And my conscience has no rest.
Deep within I feel the pain.
I’m condemned from all my guilty stains.

O my life of misery,
In this world of vanity,
As I searched for happiness,
My reward I received just emptiness.

God was far away from me,
Great and highest One is He.
Yet You took on humanity.
You came for me,
Hung on a tree,
Bled there to die for me.

That’s why I love Him.
That’s why I treasure Him.
That’s why I give my life and all to Him.
That’s why I love Him.
That’s why I treasure Him.
That’s why I give my life and all to Him.

That's Why I Love Him | with Allison and Priscilla

I wrote this in response to Br. Minoru's exhortation to College Students during the last message of the 2020 North America College Training.
